Rather you than me, I'll stick to the Vespa and small campervan,... that's primitive. Good idea a beef sausage, no food poisoning if it's undercooked. Nice to see how others live, we take bikes on the back of the camper keeps me and my 70 year old bones moving. Happy days...is that hat glued on?

I just went on a weekend camping & fishing trip with some friends & my cousin & just made food something like this . Here in the states we have Rice-A-Roni & you can get it in different flavors . I pick up a beef Rice-a-Roni with one big onion , a big green pepper, a kielbasa a large one , a splash of duck sauce , a splash of soy sauce, a pinch of garlic powder , & some black pepper . Turned that into a dinner that me & my cousin split . Later my cousin made a homemade peach cobbler for dessert in a Dutch oven & had a big old heaping scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to go with it . We both were night fishing & eating at the same time , great times .

Hey Simon, next time you cook some wors try it by adding water first about halfway up the wors, let that boil it a bit both sides this will reduce the amount of fat lost and after the water boils away you can crisp up the casing with the residue fat meaning no need for oil 👌

👍👍👍 .. nice, thanks for sharing. Those Carbon Felt Mats come in very handy .. I take and use mine everywhere. 'Boerewors' .. yummy 😊. Traditionally eaten with 'Mielie Pap en Sous' (Maize Porridge with an Onion and Tomato Gravy). The 'Pap' normally in two formats, 'Stywe' or 'Krummel' (Stiff or Crumbly). Already cooked Polenta makes for a reasonable substitute in the Outdoors and a Tin of Onion and Tomato mix (with added Herbs, Garlic and Spices to taste) closes the deal. I suspected that the Wors was going to be too much in one sitting. Cooked, it keeps well and would have gone down nicely the following morning for breakfast .. even just in a hot dog roll with chutney. Simplicity has a beauty of it's own 😊. Take care ..

Simon, I love how easy and comfortable you made that overnight look, and what a great night's sleep you got. That's what camping should be. I recently spent my first night in a hammock, and to my great surprise, I slept better than ever in a tent, even better than I had indoors in a month. And as an added bonus, when I got up once, was greeted by the most amazing sky full of stars. Love the shots of the tree canopy.

Great location, great kit and great food, a nice ride on a beautiful day, all add up to a mighty fine camp. Simon, you’re the best. Thanks again. Kentucky 2d watching…now, a year later, in my forever, retirement home, in East Tennessee. That AMOK hammock looks comfortable, especially covered with the bigger tarp. The carbon welders cloth seems just the ticket for protecting the forest floor. You’ve moved onto the e-bike by now. I wonder how it compares to your nice mountain bike, with the big tires. Beautiful pine forest, thanks for sharing…from East Tennessee.

So awesome to see our national treasured boerewors 'sausage' is being enjoyed so much. That looks like a proper 'spekwors' or fatsausage that extra bits of minced fat added. Hope you get to enjoy that more often. It's the best 'sausage' in the world I think. Been to several European countries who brag about their sausage. But can't find one better than the traditional spekwors. Glad you enjoyed. Normally it's eaten by hand or on bread rolls. And even tasty then next day.
